Love Da Capo Forever Changes Arthur Lee Elektra Three

Here is your opportunity to get your hands on Arthur Lee and Love's 3 first and best classic albums.

If you've found this listing, the odds are that I don't need to get into a 3 page essay telling you how great these albums are. My guess is that you already know this fact, and likely already own these albums in digital or cd form. It's not very often.... infact--I do not think I've ever seen anyone list all three albums together in one listing, so here is an opportunity that may never present itself again. Here's your chance to save yourself time, and the serious bummer of having to swallow the costs of having to pay for 3 different people to ship three different records from God knows where. Get 'em together while you can.

 Albums included in this listing are

Love - Love (1966, self titled, MONO, EKL-4001) GOLD LABEL (Original Elektra gold inner sleeve included)

Love - Da Capo (1967 STEREO, EKS-74005) GOLD LABEL

Love - Forever Changes (1967 STEREO, EKS-74013) RED LABEL

Condition
Now I'm not really into giving vague gradings. Never could one sentence or two letters and a few + or - signs sum up a record. Instead I've written very honest and detailed descriptions of the covers and the vinyl that should tell you everything you need to know and then some. If you have any further questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them.

Self Titled
Cover - Very clean cover, very minimal corner wear/edge wear. There is virtually no ring wear visible, unless you hold the cover at an angle under a strong light at which you will see the extremely faintest minuscule amount of wear. The cover overall is very presentable, and the titles on the spine are completely and clearly legible.

Vinyl - Though the labels are clean with very minor spindle marks, the vinyl is home to scuffs which appear over the last two or three songs on each side, and streaks which go across side 2. However, though these will be noticeable as hiss/static and pops, this vinyl is by no means unplayable, and will still be an enjoyable record.

Da Capo
Cover - This record is notorious for being especially vulnerable to ringwear. Most copies that I've seen suffer from it, due to the pitch black margin surrounding the golden frame. The black margin makes even the lightest ringwear stand out like a sore thumb. This copy is no exception, though honestly it is not as bad as other copies which i have seen. The cover is still very beautiful. The spine is clean and legible, and there is very light corner and edge wear. Impressions of the record are visible on the cover at an angle and under light. The back is very clean, with the exception of tiny initials in the top left corner.

Vinyl - Clean labels, spindle mark on side 2. Vinyl has a few noticeable paper scuffs and hairlines. Though visible to the eye, they definitely are not distracting to the ear, and will manifest as light static or light ticks and the vinyl is still certainly enjoyable.

Forever Changes
Cover - If you're anything like me, you'll know that this record has one of the most beautiful covers of all time, by Bob Pepper, a superb artist who much like Arthur Lee and Love, never got the recognition that he deserved. The condition is still very beautiful to behold and very presentable, and does justice to both Lee and Pepper. It is overall very clean, with very very light ring wear, and it's crispy with very minimal corner/edge wear. There is an extremely light and almost unnoticeable sticker residue from a previous price sticker on the front top right corner, which hasn't darkened or attracted lint and dirt as sticker residue usually does. It is not permanent and hasn't really penetrated or tarnished the semi-glossy cover and Im sure you can get this off with a little bit of ronsonol or the right adhesive remover and you'll never be able to tell it was there. However, I'll leave this up to you. The back is very clean too, with very light ringwear which isn't too noticeable at all. Gorgeous and legible spine.

Vinyl - This vinyl is the best condition of the three, and really shines and looks excellent. It will play like a charm. With the exception of a fingerprint here or there, and one or two tiny and light hair line scratches that are about the length of an eyelash and aren't deep enough to penetrate the grooves, this vinyl is perfect. You're going to love it.

BONUS RECORD! IF BIDS EXCEDE 120$, I WILL THROW IN A MINT CONDITION ORIGINAL US COPY OF LOVE'S CLASSIC SINGLE ALONE AGAIN OR/A HOUSE IS NOT A MOTEL IN IT'S ORIGINAL MINT CONDITION ELEKTRA SLEEVE. It is totally original, not a repressing or reissue. It's exactly what you would have received had you bought it the day it came out. This single in mint condition is probably harder to find than any of Love's LPs.
